Oh Where did we go last summer to Paris for two weeks? We stayed at the hotel George fifth What did we do when we first got there? We opened the window and sang a silly song about Paris We made it up as we went along and then And then I kissed you We were alone No one could have seen we went out had a drink you ordered champagne in the afternoon the way to try to talk you out Stop it. I was on the plane. You saw that All right, all right darling if you say I take it easy honey don't If you say Scotty was at home, then that's where I was home Home I've got the reports from Cairo chief complete as completely as they'll ever be They just came in via high-frequency telebox. We had photo prints made here. They are never mind Just give me the highlights. Well, the man in the blue turban was Mustafa Cornelius He made his living in art sold pictures and things. What was he doing in Scotty's room? Oh probably picking up some stuff You know the place was filled with pictures and Scotty said he doesn't know how they got there He said that even when we showed him Egyptian police reports that he and Mustafa had been followed for two days And on several occasions Scotty was carrying pictures himself. So he was lying. No, he wasn't We gave him a lie detective test and he came through 100% I didn't know that but it's true And why was Scotty and Cairo anyway? He had no orders to go there. How do you explain that? He didn't he said he couldn't remember. Well, this is one for the books Sounds like two other guys. That's not so funny. What do you mean? That's not so funny When Scotty got off the plane and came in here. I turned on the intercom and left him and mirror together I listened to their conversations in the outer office learn anything. I don't know Except that mirror seemed to doubt it was Scotty not a way them in it was I know it was Scotty and you know it was Scotty But why wouldn't Scotty's own wife know it was Scotty. I don't know I don't either Two other guys, huh? Well, we know that the Scotty who got off the plane is safely locked up in this building You and I are going to see his wife and try to figure this puzzle out. Come on Hello mirror mr. Enright, I want to talk to you and close the door Paul right You you shouldn't have come here. Why not? I have some questions to ask you. I'm expecting someone please go It'll only take a few minutes mirror. I want to help Scotty, but I can't do it alone I'll come to your office, but the chief wants some answers now, Mrs. Douglas. Oh Then come in here. Thanks when my visitor comes I must ask you to stay in here of course I'm sorry to have disturbed you like this, but there are some very strange things about this man What do you mean strange? Why didn't you believe that was Scotty in my office? Then he told you that he isn't Scotty told me nothing I Listened in and it was Scotty. It's the Scotty. I know now. Why don't you believe that? That's one of the things that puzzles me one of the strange things. Where's Scotty now? That's your doorbell person you're expecting Scottie now attention house in a cell Why aren't you answering the door? You stay here, please stay here until I get back Chief she's as nervous as a rate of scope Put your ear to the door and listen It's a man can't make out what they're saying Nothing vaguely familiar. Oh, no, it can't be. What do you mean chief? Thank you gun All right now just don't move Hello chief Mary was just telling me you were here Scotty I Don't know how you did it, but escaping from detention is a very serious. I didn't escape.

Yes, the call headquarters have them check on Scotty, right? Scotty you and I have been friends for ten years now. What kind of a game are you playing? I don't think friends hold a gun. What do you want me to do? Let you get away again, Mr. I told you mixed up as I am admit it You see Scotty I overheard the conversation you and Mira had at headquarters, but I wasn't I argue about it We'll know in a moment Yes, what is it? Well Scotty you're still there in a cell What still there now wait a minute. That's what they say get them to put Scotty on the phone. Yes, sir We'll get to the bottom of this pretty quickly now. Let's go into the other room. Come on Chief wants to talk to you Here he is keep them covered Hello Yes, chief that you Scotty. Yes, sir. I just wanted to be sure She put on others going on You don't have to talk to me to be sure not when you've got me locked in a cell that dynamite couldn't blow okay, Scotty Scotty Who you're talking to the Scott Douglas who got off the plane from Cairo this morning, but I'm Scott Douglas Chief you've seen Mira. I want to talk to her again. Just hang on a moment I'll just repeat after me. I am Scott Douglas of the world security police now look you All right, I am Scott Douglas of the world security police Okay, let's hear you say that Say what I tell you I Am Scott Douglas of the world security police This aren't exactly alike What you do is what you've been doing all day you wait for me in your cell And you're coming along with me. What are you going to do? Mrs. Douglas? I'm going to take you and your husband to meet your husband He's out here chief bring him in Mira Scotty, you stand over there All right, she's now wants it for all tell Mira Oh darling, I'm glad Good lord, mr. Enron. I can't believe it. It's absolutely incredible He looks just like me. What is this chief? What have either of you two ever seen each other before? Every morning in the mirror. What kind of a gag is I'll be quiet both of you Yes, chief. Have you got those reports about two minutes? Let me know Now one of you two is an imposter. I will say this the resemblance is fantastic You the one we had in the cell we got your fingerprints teeth Identifications birthmark and so on when you were arrested they all verified that you are the real Scott Douglas. I've told you that all along I'm Scott Douglas chief. Whatever is going on here. You are in a few minutes We'll have the results of the fingerprint identification check. We had you take before I brought Scotty up from downstairs Yes, I've got the report chief well everything check sir now come on talk sense. Will you what do you mean everything checks? Fingerprints teeth identification birthmarks everything checks sir. They're both Scott Douglas All right now remember don't interrupt me The only way I can tell you to a part is by the clothes you wear you You're wearing a tropical suit the one you had on when we picked you up in Cairo. Yes, sir Well, I'm going to call you tropical and you with the tweed. That's your name tweed that clear right here The last two hours of questioning has revealed that the memory of your lives is exactly the same up to four days ago Whatever questions you were asked separately. You both answered the same intimate questions family questions every kind but as of four days ago the police interrogate his report that you Tropical you are hazy almost blank until the arrest and murder in Cairo. That's right, sir On the other hand you tweed you have a clear memory except for a few hours three days ago. Now here. Let me read it Pursuant to file 198 I was ordered to visit a mr. David Eitner suspected of dealing in black market paintings at 223 West 18th Street and to pose as a buyer of rare paintings Mr. Eitner conducted himself in a reasonable and normal manner and exhibited several paintings allegedly genuine old masters During our conversation. I heard a faint oscillating sound in the room and inquired whether it was the air conditioning unit and then I blacked out Now at this point your two memories separate You both remember everything up to the moment Scott Douglas blacked out But after that tweed's memory does not pick up until two hours has passed then he reports The next thing I knew I awoke lying on the floor I thought I'd been slugged but subsequent examination by police medical authority showed no injury of any sort The assumption was that I had fainted but no reason for this possibility was advanced The paintings together with mr. Eitner were nowhere to be found when I regained consciousness subsequent police investigation failed to reveal any trace of mr. Eitner or his paintings So there it is and you tropical you remember nothing for the next several days until we picked you up in Cairo I remember that report very well. I wrote it, but he couldn't have known about the first part of that report I went along no one else. I was there. That was my rep. Oh, you too It's bad enough seeing double without you two talking double and remembering double Two hours Two hours what happened in those two hours chief? I've got an idea. What is it probably nothing to it after three days But why don't we visit 223 west 18th street again? Let's see whether mr. Eitner possibly left something behind when he fled with the paintings It's pretty empty now This is where he had several old paintings hanging on the wall This is where I was standing when I blacked out That's right chief. I walked over there from here and then it happened. What's that that sound came from over there that class on Come out of there Come on. I'll shoot. Do not shoot sahib. No, do not kill me. Who are you do not kill me sahib What are you doing here in this room talk talk Do not kill me sahib. If you don't talk I make no promises. I have children. I have a and I've got a gun well If I talk you let me live talk I come to destroy the instrument What instruments it is in here sahib the instrument of mustafa cornelios the man of the blood servant I swear to come back and destroy it if he ever died It is built into this closet behind the secret panel It made mustafa and me very rich. Let's see that instrument open the panel Looks like a control board What does it do? I do not know the words to describe it Only mustafa knew because he was very wise and very scientific You know how to operate this oh yes sahib Mustafa show me what to do and I work longer was doing that for our both becoming very rich Show us what it does and remember any danger results. This man has a gun. You'll be the first to die I understand sahib Give me something for the instrument What do you mean give you something? I try to explain Give me something a picture perhaps there are no pictures here then A ring perhaps a watch Would I show a dog anything does this make any sense play along with him chief here Here's a ring and a watch Thank you sahib I place them in here Unclose this small door I turn on the instrument That's the sound the sound I heard he's right chief the sound before I blacked out now. What do you do? A moment until the bell sound It is finished Now you see There are now two watches two rings. Let me see them Great dynamos of niagra. They're exactly alike Even to the scratches the the dirt marks everything. Let me see them You're right Identical perfect copies. No no sahib. They are not copies All are original but that can't be the ones I gave you were the originals the others are the copies. That's right Just a minute chief Look at this marking molecular duplicator What did you say molecular duplicator? That's right That means it's somehow Well, it's possible theoretically, but it means that the molecules and atoms of the originals are Perfectly duplicated And we know that if somehow the atoms and molecules could be exactly arranged You'd actually have two originals We're only one existed before yes Yes, sahib that is what mustapha say Those are the words that I do not know how to use all right now. Listen to me. You does it rat Does this machine work on anything other than inanimate objects in none? I do not understand sahib. Does it work on living things dogs birds Human beings it has worked on a dog sahib Mustapha he had a dog he liked so much He make himself another dog like it with this instrument Then And it would work on human beings too, but the dog One of them. I do not know which one of them The dog he died very horribly sahib What do you mean died horribly one day About a month after the first dog become two dog One day the dog bark and whine It is in agony sahib And before my eyes it I Do not know how to say it It is disappear Slowly as if it fall apart And in a little while there is nothing left Nothing Molecular disintegration Our living flesh the effect of the machine lasts only a limited time chief Which one of us? him Or me Which one of us is scott duglas?
